  1. Mel's sources are agents. He will bag or promote any players they tell him to in order to maintain access.
  2. They aren't allowed to consider MoV.
  3. THIS 100%. I'm not really mad that we got left out. Young team and it took a while for us to really get going. 5th in the SEC, rough road games. But look at how little other teams have accomplished that are going to be in. And not just one team. Half the field.
  4. Vandy and Notre Dame have very comparable resumes. Won the games they should. Lost two games above them. Vandy edges ND in my SOR, but it's not by much. Vandy has better wins, but ND has better losses.
  5. That's why we are above them in SOR. That's exactly what SOR does, but it's only as good as data going in.
  6. The way I see it is that losing the game will almost always cost you 4 spots (it's probably costing us 5 spots this year), and winning it maybe gives you two spots if SOS is an actual determinant. It starts to make sense to play an OOC game where you are a 7-point favorite (75% chance to win). So if you think are the best team in the nation, you want to schedule like a Pittsburgh at best.
  7. The main issue is scheduling. There is just no way to evaluate these teams, even for computer polls. The teams with the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 12th, 17th, and 18th least reliable data according to my model are: Ohio State, Tech, Indiana, Oregon, Miami, and Notre Dame. It's not a coincidence that these are basically all playoff teams not in the SEC. Dodging tough games is the entire system.
  8. I need some fun today after that rankings show.
  9. If it's Texas vs Michigan? Probably all of them: 1. SEC Championship: Georgia vs. Texas 16.63 Million Conference Title 2. Texas at Ohio State: 16.6 million viewers OOC 2. Tennessee vs. Ohio State 14.68 Million Playoff Game 3. Indiana vs. Notre Dame 13.39 Million Playoff Game 4. Georgia at Texas 13.19 Million Regular Season 5. Michigan at Ohio State 12.30 Million Regular Season Rivalry 6. Georgia at Alabama 11.99 Million Regular Season Rivalry
  10. We need to throw water bottles. Point me in the right direction.
  11. I thought I wanted to hear the committee explanation, but geez that's bad....in addition to those pointed out already, does he realize who Miami's losses are?
  12. People aren't thinking this through. They think it's a good game to play if you a have a 60% chance to win. It's still not.
  13. Playoff expansion will not help this issue.
  14. Hopefully we can get Longhorn-shaped Cheez-Its as a consolation.
  15. It's BYU, they shouldn't lose at all. I just use it as a corollary to show SOS/SOR. It puts the figures into numbers that any people can understand. The truth is the committee values SOR highly, and Tech's would be terrible with two losses.
  16. I still think Tech doesn't have the schedule to weather another loss. 2-2 vs Top 40 teams is a terrible look when all the bubble teams (except ND) have beaten more top 40 than Tech has played.
  17. What makes you think that exactly? Notre Dame hasn't proven shit.
  18. One is 3-2 vs Top 40 One is 3-2 vs Top 15
  19. But they moved up over aggy, so it's all good.
  20. They put us in the lowest spot that could possibly be justified.
  21. You have made like 6 posts here, all political. Go back to your hole.
  22. Or dump ND, which is the correct decision. Thread is freaking flying. I'm like the 3rd person to say this.
  23. It implies around 15%, but it's the movement that is intriguing. We started the day under 5%.
